Getting your students excited about writing, and WANTING to write, can be a bit difficult.  I've found that if children have an interesting writing prompt to jump start their brains, they WILL be enthusiastic and get right down to business!  Give them a choice of any of these six, fun-scarecrow writing prompts, perfect for Daily 5 or your writing block.

After reading Eric Carle's The Very Busy Spider, have each student fill out the student page.  Collect and collate into a class book. To add extra pizzazz, print off 2 copies of your class's school photo, and cut your students' heads into ovals.  Glue a set to the webs on the cover (You can leave them as kids or turn them into spiders with a black marker) and include a photo of yourself in the top web.  Have students glue their photo to the spider on their page.

Make these sparkling webs after you read The Very Busy Spider. I mixed Elmer's glue with white paint. A black construction paper circle is placed in a metal cake pan.  A dollop of the paint-glue is put in the middle and a marble is placed on top.  Students manuever the pan to "spin" a web.  When they are happy with the results, they sprinkle opalescent or silver glitter on their creation.  I've included a colored web with the poem on it.
